I wish I had seen it. Will probably watch it tonight. Thanks for the suggestion.
I have two pretty severe disabilities- some of you are probably not surprised lol.
I had to take a 4 month leave and then a three week leave from my job within the 7 years I was there. Thank God I was in mgmt, so I received my full salary. Every day was and still is a fight.
My doctor has mentioned a few times from over the course of my first leave to the present, potentially I may want to apply for SSI. I just can’t do it. Not until I am thinking I am Superman on Market Street. There is no trust fund and I will work till I die. The thought of living off of $750-$1200 a month scares the sh*t out of me.
For those on SSI you better hope you have a spouse, partner or family member who can help you out- let you stay with them, or you will really be screwed.
The life of someone on SSI and who is single is a life of fear, poverty and instability.
I wouldn’t wish it upon my worst enemy…except maybe just one.
